A lovely, bright and sunny day but not a great deal to be seen. The best on the land were a cock Pheasant, a Water Rail, 44 Jackdaws, 16 Chiffchaffs, three Wheatears and five Siskins.
Four Porpoises and a Grey Seal were feeding offshore and a Brown Hare was seen in the Desert.
A Hummingbird Hawkmoth was seen in the trapping area.
A Pied Shieldbug found in front of the Observatory was only the second record for the Observatory area. Hundreds of Firebugs were also found.
